Added extra to my post yesterday about the pilot through tower bridge, people on the third floor of buildings alongside the Thames were looking down onto him flying through London, not Ray Hanna levels of low flying but not far off.
If you want to see who Ray Hanna was, YouTube the original spitfire low pass, go on, it’s well worth a minute or so of your time

David Cousins, lead singer, guitarist, founder of the folk/rock band The Strawbs. I quite liked them back in the day.

Donald Rose 110, possibly the UKs oldest man, but was the oldest UK Second World War survivor, he was a sniper in the Queens Royal Regiment, survived D-day, served in North Africa and helped liberate Bergen-Belsen camp.

Can you play a bass line like Nigel used to on "Big Bottom"? Can you double that? You might recall the line's in fifths.

Oh yeah, I've got two hands here.

That's sad news. I had the pleasure of knowing Joe Kittinger and I remember Joe being very excited about Felix's jump in 2012.

[darlowolf64]

Got his last gig out just in time. RIP Prince of Darkness

 

[Keef]

Not a huge surprise tbh, he was obviously a lot worse than we thought

 

[sycophantia]

Glad he got to have his last run out with the original members.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Saw him at Ozzfest in 2006 and he looked and sounded like he was on his last legs even then.
Amazing that he lasted nearly 20 more years, huge loss for the music world.
RIP

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not my kind of music but massive respect for what he did and also being unashamedly West Midlands throughout.

 

[Lupo]

Loved The Osbournes a few years back, RIP Prince of fookin Darkness
